THE BLUEPRINT
Eastbourne is doing something no town in Britain has done.
This is your invitation to be part of it.
“This is a fantastic opportunity for Eastbourne businesses to enable young adults and to grow themselves. Young people do not have to leave the town for opportunities.
They can stay local and thrive.”
Christina Ewbank, CEO of Eastbourne unLtd Chamber of Commerce
The problem: A nation at a standstill
The UK is currently ignoring its most valuable asset. Right now, one million young people are out of work and education, a “lost generation” trapped in a cycle of limited direction and fading confidence.
Simultaneously, our workforce is struggling with a chronic productivity slump. We have built a wall between the established world of work and the potential of the next generation. Talent is everywhere. Access is not. If we don't bridge this gap, the cost to our economy and our social fabric will be irreparable.
Eastbourne will prove what can be achieved when businesses invest in their people and enable young talent.
The solution - Connect the two
OKO gives young people a personality-based coach to unlock their potential — giving them the clarity, confidence and direction to take their next step.
In doing so, we provide companies/employees with a structured and safe, high-value environment to become accomplished coaches. This isn’t just “giving back”; it is a strategic intervention to upskill the UK’s workforce while re-engaging the nation's lost talent.
The dual win
For Young Adults
A matched coach who provides the clarity, confidence and direction to achieve their goals and ambitions.
For Companies
A scalable and measurable solution which trains your staff to coach. OKO drives productivity and engagement.
The solution is proven
Thousands of coaching hours already delivered, including a multi-year deployment with Sage PLC across the UK, US and India.
The invitation: Seize the moment
We are calling on business leaders to tackle the youth unemployment crisis head-on - while driving their own commercial growth.
The Blueprint is backed by high-profile music artists and business leaders - a megaphone of national attention across press and social media. For companies, it's an unmissable opportunity to be seen leading the solution.
Don't just witness history - lead it. Mobilise your workforce and grow forward.
